Trickyh Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Very useful leaflet posted on airspacesafety.com Basically if you see a Typhoon flying at 40knots rocking its wings and dropping flares... FLY AWAY FROM LONDON!! I wonder how much that cost... asi_intercept_leaflet_v5_lr.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Not as much as the cost of the missile to shoot you down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trickyh Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Not as much as the cost of the missile to shoot you down They'd have to get a 'lock' on me first!! Yeehaa!! (that was a joke mr MI6 agent browsing this forum...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richwill15 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 They'd not waste a missile. They'd either gun you down. or get a sniper to do it from the side of the helo. Easy peasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy peasy Dosen't the Geneva Convention state that signed up countries cannot shoot at parachutes? Not sure where paramotors would fit in on this point... Anyhow- regardless of the trivia- STAY CLEAR OF THE NO FLY ZONES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_andrews Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 If you see a Typhoon flying in front of you, there's a good chance your wing is gonna get rocked! I wonder if that may be misinterpreted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richwill15 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'll doubt you'll fly through its jetwash (it'll more or less be pointing vertical to fly at our speed). But you would go through it's wingtip vortices. it's his wingman that would get you anyway (they hunt in pairs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outkast Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Theres two typhoons at northolt at the moment, they have been carrying out excersice flights in readiness for the games, quite frequently they have been passing over my house in hertfordshire, only once have I seen them above 500ft, whats the score with the 500ft rule when it comes to military aircraft, anyone know ?

Richwill15 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 actually, there are some pretty strict rules relating to low flying by mil aircraft. However, there's always dispensation and a tiffy at 500' is damn loud. They generally try and steer clear of complaints. I'll ask for you if you'd like?
